<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I love brown rice, but ONLY if it's cooked right. I like it chewy & moist. I like Tsuru Mai brand found in the Asian section of the grocery store. This is how I do it: 3 cups short grain brown rice 5 cups water 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon oil or butter Put ingredients into a large, deep Corning Ware casserole dish. Boil on stove top for 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer to microwave. Cover & cook at 40% power for 55 minutes. Valerie in Tacoma * Please remember some posters may be WHEAT-FREE, but not GLUTEN-FREE *
